Best of the City 2016: THE LIST

Kicking off with an explosive extravaganza for our nation’s birthday, the month is a jubilant one. Grills ignite, popsicles melt and the nights are filled with sounds of people enjoying life. Each year, the “Best of the City” issue celebrates all of the wonderful elements that make The 330 a great place to live. Readers vote on their favorites, nominating staples and newcomers alike. They create a list that reflects life in The 330. Each winner helps to transform a collection of lines on a map into a home. The list always inspires our team to explore the area and try new—or new to us—things.

As we tried out fan favorites, we found a few of our own that we wanted to share with readers. Fun personified, our staff picks are just a small sampling of things we love in The 330. See our EDITOR'S PICKS here.
